Whether it’s Old or New, Trudel Roofing makes your next roof easy.

For most homeowners, the roofing process can seem overwhelming.

When you hire Trudel Roofing to complete your roofing project, we make the entire process easy and worry-free for you. We approach every job with our industry-leading quality and attention to craftsmanship. We methodically complete each step in the process, from the removal of your old roof, to the installation of the new roof system, to site cleanup, to our satisfaction AND to your satisfaction.

Let us explain the the steps we follow for roofing your home. This process is used for all our projects, ensuring the roof is completed on time and in a proper manner. With a newly installed roof system your home will be protected for years to come.

Initial contact and estimation

• Contact us for a free roofing estimate. There are several options for contacting Trudel Roofing – phone at 204.232.3360, email at info@trudelroofing.ca or via our website’s request a quote form.
• Once contacted, our estimator will book a date and time which works best with your schedule to come to the home and perform the estimate.
• For your appointment, the estimator will arrive on the agreed-upon date wearing a company uniform, knock on the door and identify themselves as an employee of Trudel Roofing. They will be ready to discuss the project at hand, what the customer needs are, and results expected from the project. Then, the estimator will conduct their estimate on the roof, inspecting the entire roof surface. During the inspection, the estimator will note and report problematic areas.
• The estimator will supply the requested quote, with all the discussed variables requested, to the customer.
• When the estimated quote is accepted by you, we can schedule your project’s start date.

Roofing project scheduling

• We work with you to schedule the roofing project for the next available opening we have.
• We take care of everything else. The roofing materials, including new shingles, required for your project are ordered by us.
• The roofing materials should be delivered to your property by our product suppliers 1-3 days before installation. However, if your job requires different delivery requirements, we can work with you. We can arrange same-day delivery, if necessary.

The day of your roofing installation appointment

• On the day scheduled for your roof system installation, our installers will arrive at 7:00 a.m.
• The installers will walk around your property, conducting a worksite perimeter check. They will move any obstacles which could be damaged. For other objects which aren’t moveable, such as decks and heavy valuable property, we will cover them with tarps or plywood to protect them from possible falling objects.
• Once everything is protected, the project starts with the installers removing the old shingles from the roof. The removed debris from your roof is tossed into a dump trailer. With all the old materials off, the roof decking is swept off, and the eavestroughs are cleaned out. In the event of finding rotten plywood or roof decking below the shingles, the customer will be notified, and it will be replaced at a cost per square foot.

We’re ready to install your new roof system

Roofing – Step #1: Drip edge flashing

We start by installing drip edge flashing at your roof’s edge to help prevent water from running behind your eavestrough. It is not an industry or by-law requirement, but it’s a best practice Trudel Roofing follows as a great protective addition to any roofing system (and is an example of how we go the extra kilometer on all of our projects).

Roofing – Step #2: Ice and water shield

Next up, we install ice and water shields at your eavestroughs edge, roof valleys, and areas prone to ice build-ups, such as around chimneys and vents. The shield is a peel-and-stick self-adhering membrane that is an absolute must for every roofing project. It seals your roof deck, to prevent ice and wind-driven rain from reaching your roof decking surface, keeping your home dry.

Roofing – Step #3: Synthetic underlayment

After the shield, we install synthetic underlayment to the entire roof deck. Unlike conventional asphalt saturated felt, the synthetic underlayment doesn’t dry out or crack. It’s safer for the installers and a better product for the consumer. This product is a new industry standard and a Trudel Roofing best practice for all re-roofing projects. For the peace of mind you get from having a second layer of protection, it’s a great addition to your roofing project.

Roofing – Step #4: Perimeter shingles

Once the waterproofing materials are installed, we start installing Swiftstart starter shingles around the perimeter of the roof. The starter shingles have an additional sealing band to help seal to the shingles that will be exposed most to the elements.

Roofing – Step #5: CertainTeed Landmark shingles

After the perimeter is installed, we complete the shingling with CertainTeed Landmark shingles! These shingles have one of the best wind ratings in the industry, due to their exceptional construction and airtight sealants. These shingles are a magnificent product that the entire Trudel Roofing team stands behind. Check out the manufacturer’s warranty for CertainTeed Landmark shingles on their website!

Roofing – Step #6: Other roof components

Towards the end of the re-shingling, we install all new premium roof components including attic vents, thermoplastic plumbing flashings, fan/exhaust vents and ridge venting. The installation of new components ensures your new roof system will function at peak performance for years.

Roofing – Step #7: Ridge caps

Finally, nearly one of the final steps is to install Shadowridge ridge capping shingles. The specially shaped shingles are installed on the hips and peaks of your roof to be the last part of the shingling process. Ask us about upgrading to Mountain Ridge ridge caps for a look that will make your home’s roof stand out.

For a full product list and descriptions for the shingles, ridge caps, waterproofing materials, and other roof components, visit our product suppliers page.

Roofing – Step #8: Roof clean-up

Once the roof system is fully installed, it will be blown off with a leaf blower. The ground surrounding the perimeter of your home will be swept with a large magnet to pick up any nails that may have fallen. All the obstacles which were moved when the project started will be moved back to where they were. Other than your brand-new roof, the property and your belongings will look like we were never there!

Roofing – Step #9: Internal roof inspection

All roofing work is inspected by the project leader ensuring our work meets our standards before presenting the finished product to you. Once we confirm all work as satisfactory and we have exceeded your expectations, we invite you to review.

Roofing – Step #10: Customer roof inspection and payment

Together, we will review your new roof system. Once you’re satisfied with the resulting service, we accept payment in the form of cash, cheque, e-transfer or major credit card.

It’s never to early to start discussing and planning for your new roofing system project. For all your re-roofing needs contact Trudel Roofing – by phone at 204.232.3360, by email at info@trudelroofing.ca or via our website’s request a quote form.
